CakePHP Adapter

An HTTPlug adapter for the CakePHP HTTP client.

Installation

To install the CakePHP adapter, which will also install CakePHP itself (if it was not yet included in your project), run:

$ composer require php-http/cakephp-adapter

This client does not come with a PSR-7 implementation out of the box, so you have to install one as well (for example Guzzle PSR-7):

$ composer require guzzlehttp/psr7

In order to provide full interoperability, message implementations are accessed through factories. Message factories for Laminas Diactoros (and its abandoned predecessor Zend Diactoros), Guzzle PSR-7 and Slim Framework are available in the message component:

$ composer require php-http/message

Alternatively you can install the discovery layer to be able to automatically find installed resources, like factories:

$ composer require php-http/discovery

Usage

Begin by creating a CakePHP HTTP client, passing any configuration parameters you like:

use Cake\Http\Client as CakeClient;

$config = [
    // Config params
];
$cakeClient = new CakeClient($config);

Then create the adapter:

use Http\Adapter\Cake\Client as CakeAdapter;
use Http\Message\MessageFactory\GuzzleMessageFactory;

$adapter = new CakeAdapter($cakeClient, new GuzzleMessageFactory());

Note

The client parameter is optional; if you do not supply it (or set it to null) the adapter will create a default CakePHP HTTP client without any options.

Or if you installed the discovery layer:

use Http\Adapter\Cake\Client as CakeAdapter;

$adapter = new CakeAdapter($cakeClient);

Warning

The message factory parameter is mandatory if the discovery layer is not installed.
